Volvo has revealed a new, tougher version of its EX30 compact electric SUV, as it fits the Cross Country badge to an electric car for the very first time.

Inside, the EX30 Cross Country looks identical to its asphalt-only counterpart. A vertically oriented 12.3-inch infotainment display also contains the driver information gauges and runs Volvo’s Google-based interface. You can also use Apple CarPlay, and instead of speakers in the doors, there is a single soundbar spanning across the dashboard.

Volvo has officially unveiled the 2026 EX30 Cross Country— the first time Volvo's rugged off-road treatment has been applied to an electric vehicle.Based on the standard EX30, the Cross Country variant brings the expected upgrades,

True to the classic recipe, Volvo has added flared wheel arch extensions and skid plates front and back, while also raising the ride height by 0.7 inches. The CC variants will also wear unique 18-inch wheels, with optional all-terrain tires.

Volvo has expanded its current EX30 line-up with the introduction of a new Cross Country version. Following in the footsteps of cars like the V60 and V90 Cross Country, the EX30 Cross Country is a more rugged take on Volvo’s smallest electric SUV.

Swedish style and electric luxury on a budget is the Volvo EX30’s sales pitch — and while it’s not yet on sale here in the U.S., Volvo is already adding a Cross Country model to the lineup to give it a bit more off-road panache.
